Describe what you mean by "freedom of speech" here, I'm assuming you don't mean the first amendment because that only applies in the US and only for protection against congress ( the US congress ofc ).

Given the above I'm not sure what line you mean here, libel/slander?

You can only point out facts that exist, well, you can technically point out whatever you like and call it "fact" i suppose, but it's not really accurate unless it's an actual fact.

Unless accuracy isn't what you were going for ?

Freedom of speech is a cultural and institutional phenomenon, which happens to be mentioned by the US Bill of Rights.

It is not a term which refers to the US amendment, any more than “peaceably assemble” or “levy taxes” or “quartering of troops” are references to parts of the US Constitution.

Did you mean to reply to me? Or the person above?
